Iron Cross Boulevard, Yapp Comptoir.

This is a chamber of commerce in the Iron Cross Avenue, and the main business is the business of witchers, buying and selling blood hearts, gene fluids, weapons and equipment, and the like. Today, here, there is a grand auction taking place.

Wang Chuanren is the owner of Yapu Commercial Bank, and this auction was also made by him and several businessmen who are engaged in this business on the Iron Cross Avenue.

But there is one partner among them, and he doesn't like to see it, that is Zhu Mingyu.

This guy from four-leaf clover has too long a hand.

However, the rules set at the time of the auction were that shops with shops on Iron Cross Avenue and registered in the guild could participate in the auction if they paid for their participation.

It's always hard to change the rules you set, but there's nothing wrong with making them stumble.

Since some time ago, Wang Chuanren has united a lot of businessmen and blocked Zhu Mingyu's receiving channel, just waiting to see the jokes of this old boy who doesn't know the height of the sky.

At the beginning, this guy was indeed unable to receive reliable goods, and he could often see his anxious and distressed face, which also made Wang Chuanren happy.

But things seem to have changed a bit lately.

He looked at Zhu Mingyu, who was sitting not far from him, with a smug face full of spring breeze, and felt jealous in his heart.

A young man next to him said, "Brother Ren, looking at the appearance of this surnamed Zhu, it seems that he is confident...... Didn't we keep an eye on the works of a few masters and grandmasters? The way of private acquisition is also stuck, where does he get his confidence? ”

The person who spoke was also a partner in this auction, and he was also in the business of extraordinary equipment on Iron Cross Avenue, and he had always been good friends with Wang Chuanren.

Not only this young man, but also several businessman-looking people next to him all shifted their eyes.

Wang Chuanren gritted his teeth and said: "The roads on the market have been cut off for him, but we can't really seal all the places, who knows if he went to other places to get good things, maybe he got it back from Hunter Town." ”

“…… Selling high-end goods from Hunter Town to us is a loss, right? ”

"You have to make a loss, otherwise how can he make a name for himself on our side? I'd rather lose some than come in and grab business with us. He doesn't lose this amount of money, and the money invested in our side in the early stage has been wasted. ”

"What's this called? Sunk cost, that's the word, right? ”

"Brother Ren, you can't let him succeed! In the current market, we are not very divided, and if we come in again, the most important thing is that we are not obedient. ”

The merchants of Iron Cross Avenue, you said it one by one, but the voice was very low, and I didn't want to be heard by Zhu Mingyu, who was sitting a little farther away.

Wang Chuanren, as the leader of these people, frowned and thought while listening to their words. After a while, he said, "I really can't let him be so arrogant. Although he didn't know exactly what he had gotten, and the list of lots was kept by each family, it was impossible for him to tell us. However, there is something else we can do. There is still an hour left for the auction to start, and there is still time to go. ”

Someone asked, "How?" Brother Ren, we all listen to you. ”

Wang Chuanren smiled and said, "If he wants to take out a high-end lot, the value of a single lot must be very expensive, and it will not be less than 10,000 amethyst." If it's lower than that, we don't have to worry about anything. ”

After a pause, he continued: "This time, we invited people to participate in the auction, and there are not many people who can afford to buy a single item at a price of more than 10,000 amethysts at once, and they are all old customers. Wait, let's find someone to say hello, and when Zhu Mingyu's lot comes on stage, don't bet and buy it. If you really like it, we will auction it at the reserve price and sell it to them at the same price. ”

"That's a good idea!" Others said the same.

……

"The giant insect heavy armor, with the strongest part of the super giant war insect, is made of excellent armor in a magical way, a single part is exquisitely high-grade, and the combination has a large strength to strengthen the special effect, after tasting, the whole set has reached the excellent level."

"The starting price of the whole set, 5,000 amethyst!"

As the hammer fell, Zhu Mingyu's most valued goods were put on the shelves. He looked proud, and the starting price was deliberately not set too high, just to wait for the scene to be hotter.

But the situation seems to be somewhat unexpected.

As soon as this equipment appeared, there was indeed some commotion in the field, after all, it was an excellent level of equipment. However, the commotion is just ordinary witchers, and how many can afford to buy this set of armor? And none of the high-level demon hunters and big names that Zhu Mingyu was really looking forward to.

A moment later, someone called out the reserve price of five thousand amethyst, but no one added it any more.

Time passed little by little, and the smile on Zhu Mingyu's face gradually froze.

Not far away, Wang Chuanren, who saw his expression, was very happy.

“…… 5,000 amethyst for the first time, 5,000 amethyst for the second time, is there anyone else who wants it? 5,000 amethyst ......"

"Wait!"

A shout interrupted the auctioneer's countdown.

This is Zhu Mingyu, who is so anxious that he can't stand it.

"Boss Zhu, interrupting the auction, isn't it in order?" A local merchant from Iron Cross stood up and said in a slightly mocking tone.

"This is something from my shop, I'm going to introduce it myself!"

"There's never been such a rule." The man continued, "People don't want to buy it, it's not good, you are the boss, it's useless to go on stage yourself, don't spill it here." ”

"Eh, eh." Wang Chuanren spoke next to him: "Don't be so harsh, everyone is a peer, Boss Zhu is in trouble, you can make an exception." ”

said compassionate words, but the smirk on his face was disgusting in Zhu Mingyu's eyes.

No matter how stupid he is, he must have realized what the hell was going on now.

There is anger in the heart, but this is in someone else's territory, and it is useless to attack.

After calming down a little, Zhu Mingyu stood on the stage and explained the characteristics of this set of equipment in more depth.

Looking at the people under the auction hall, Zhu Mingyu could clearly see that many people were very excited and interested in all aspects of the equipment he introduced.

However, none of these people sitting in the outfield could afford to pay tens of thousands of amethysts in one go to buy this set of armor. If you can afford it, it's in the boxes around above.

Zhu Mingyu looked forward to it, but no one bid.

Wang Chuanren's eyes were full of ridicule, and he said: "Boss Zhu, after the introduction of the introduction, can you let the brother who was willing to copy it at the reserve price register to take the things?" ”

Zhu Mingyu's face was like ashes, he looked at Wang Chuanren with angry and depressed eyes, and said unwillingly: "This set of works from Master Li Wei, is there really no one?" ”

"Levi? I've never heard of a master named Levi. Wang Chuanren said, "Don't think that just making up a name can be useless, let me tell you......"

"You said this equipment was made by Levi?" Suddenly, such a sentence came from the loudspeaker hanging outside one of the private rooms above.
